Does any one here, working in IT, have a sense for how "on-going" this issue is expected to be? Is this something that is largely going to be resolved in a day or two, or is this going to take weeks/ months?
It's going to be a grind. This is causing blue screen of death on Windows machines which can only be rectified if you have physical/console access.
In the cloud space if this is happening to you I think you're screwed. I mean theoretically there's a way to do it by installing Windows unmounting the disc from the virtual machine to another working virtual machine but it's a freaking bear.
Basically everyone's going to have to grind this whole thing out to fix this problem. There's not going to be an easy way to use automation unless they have a way to destroy and recreate all their computers.
I live in linuxland and it's been really fun watching this from the side. I really feel for this admins having to deal with this right now because it's going to just suck.
I'd have thought the cloud side would be pretty easy to script over. Presumably the images aren't encrypted from the host filesystem so just ensure each VM is off, mount its image, delete the offending files, unmount the image and start the VM back up. Check it works for a few test machines then let it rip on the whole fleet.
Oh my friend. You think these companies do things in a logical scalable way? I have some really bad news....
Theoretically that could work but sometimes security measures require computers be BitLocker encrypted and certain softwares could make this difficult to achieve like fixing a domain controller.
